Alasdair, this guy kids himself on he’s some kind of socialist internationalist. In reality he’s just another Brit-imperliast Labout hack. THAT’s why he needs to attack the SNP). An SNP government that has done more to protect Scottish workers in the last few years than Labour ever did in the preceding century.
The don’t like it up ’em and they don’t like getting shown up either.

In Wales where Unemployment is 9.3% we have A Labour Government that hs been in power since the Assembly first sat. The current administration seem to think the best thing to do is nothing and then blame it on the Tories.

The SNP what ever you say looks like a vibrant government and therefore more likely to attract business. The only part of the UK with a Labour government look like they have no answers.

Of course thy do don’t have overall control in the Welsh Assembly and will use this as excuse for their lethargy where their flagship legislation (now they have some) has been about introducing bike lanes

But the last Scottish Parliament saw the SNP looking like a government on top of things (Hence their landslide).

By the way isn’t that photo beneath you?

I don’t really understand the need to attack the SNP government when they’re providing a clear demonstration of how to run an economy in a more progressive way than that of the socially destructive coalition.
